According to The Athletic:

Despite it being in the game notes, ownership took exception to Brown pointing it out, sources said, believing it made them sound cheap. Baltimore ranks 29th in Major League Baseball in payroll.

lol, what the hell? How damn sensitive are they that they think a factual statement - not even throwing shade at anyone - about their performance against one particular team "makes them sound cheap"?

Glad to see other announcers around the league are calling out how stupid this is.
